Buy online.

Hello I'm a game console, and the buyer is telling me that I should send it through family and friends because it will ship faster. Otherwise if I choose the protection coverage it will take 2 weeks. Is this true? Please I dont want to get scammed.

Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so.

A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for 'non-receipt' OR 'not as described' as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.
However they can still open an 'unauthorised transaction' OR do a 'chargeback' (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.
